Barriers and enablers of HPV vaccination among caregivers of school-age girls in resource-limited regions of Western Sichuan, China: a mixed-methods study
Caregivers hold positive attitudes toward HPV vaccination, but the coverage rate among girls remains low in Ganzi, Aba, and Liangshan prefectures. Ensuring vaccine supply, reducing costs, improving caregivers' knowledge, and increasing vaccination accessibility could significantly enhance vaccination rates in resource-limited regions of western China.
